Update from 1.5 directly to 2.2. Seemed to cause break. Oddly enough, a plugin seems to have fixed it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Getting bad link I can’t find…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-bad-link-i-cant-find/) * Thread Starter [dawud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawud/) * (@dawud) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-bad-link-i-cant-find/#post-510031) * Using 2.0.4 and have been for a while. Not going to upgrade for a few months. I understand there’s already a 2.1.1 in the works. * I’m the theme developer and blog owner. I would guess this is a database / config issue. I just can’t seem to recreate it. If anyone else can, and tell me what they did, I would be very grateful. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Getting bad link I can’t find…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-bad-link-i-cant-find/) * Thread Starter [dawud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawud/) * (@dawud) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-bad-link-i-cant-find/#post-509994) * See, here’s another one – different link: * A user tried to go to [http://healthywebdesign.comhttp://healthywebdesign.com/](http://healthywebdesign.comhttp://healthywebdesign.com/) tools/integrate-aweber-with-blogger/#comment-54 and received a 404 (page not found) error.

I have other links that are coming up as similar errors with the wp-comments-post.php file being the source.

It’s not so pretty, but I’ve tested it pretty thoroughly and it seems to work great… * In my nav bar, I created a home link to my index.php file using the link to my homepage – as usual. * I combined two ideas for the ‘secondary blog page.’ * One, being the only author, I created a nav link called ‘blog’ and linked to all my author posts as found in the [Author Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates). I needed to create an author.php file to use this option so I made a copy of my index.php file and renamed it author.php. Creating a link to me as the author accomplished what I wanted in way of creating a new ‘secondary blog homepage.’ * Now I have a homepage that is in the loop and based on my template AND a secondary blog homepage that is also in the loop and based on my template. The blog homepage is just my blog posts and template design. My overall site homepage is my template design with blog posts and a few other features. * This seems to work great. I further used [conditional tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags)( is_archive) and [dynamic menu highlighting](http://codex.wordpress.org/Dynamic_Menu_Highlighting) to highlight my blog link so that it stays highlighted on every post page. * This isn’t as pretty as I would like, but it will do until I see what comes out with 2.1 * Thanks for everyone’s help from above. While my solution isn’t really from what you wrote, your suggestions kept me looking. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Plugin for creating links](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-creating-links/) * Thread Starter [dawud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawud/) * (@dawud) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-creating-links/#post-491764) * Anyone? * Again, is it clear what I’m asking about? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can’t see template…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-see-template/) * Thread Starter [dawud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawud/) * (@dawud) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-see-template/#post-493102) * Ah!

I’ve played with conditional tags and have some things working for me. Though I can’t seem to get a ‘separate blog home page’ to be recognized in the nav bar. I feel I’m close but with my limited php skills, I’m not sure what to try next. So it’s great to hear about 2.1.

This page has more on it than just the header, footer, sidebar and loop info. I’ve added other elements that I only want to display on the homepage – which I’ve removed from the rest of the site using is_home conditional tag. * What I’d like is to be able to also have a “blog homepage” that comes up from a nav link called “blog” that when clicked on, delivers me to the index.php URL( or some other URL) without all my added items. I’m just not sure how to make it appear as though the blog has its own homepage. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [How to change body tag attributes?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-body-tag-attributes/) * Thread Starter [dawud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawud/) * (@dawud) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-body-tag-attributes/#post-490935) * Thanks LesBessant. I got conditional tags to work in a few places. * One thing I can’t figure out – which I have a feeling is quite easy – is I have two sidebars on my site – one generated by sidebar.php and the other is for page navigation that I’ve included in the footer. * When I call on a page (‘static’ WordPress page), I want the blog sidebar to go away and my content to expand into its place. Any suggestions? * The only thing I’ve been able to come up with is to create a new header.php file where I can alter the body attribute (class=”page”) and then restyle the site in css. This solution I would just not call on the sidebar.php file at all and let the style sheet do the rest. * Anything better, more efficient? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Podcasting feed problem.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/podcasting-feed-problem/) * Thread Starter [dawud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawud/) * (@dawud) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/podcasting-feed-problem/#post-490908) * Great. Thanks. Somehow I missed this. * Again, thanks for the help.
